Upgrade LANDTONE Overdrive Guitar Pedal PCB FOR DIY Overdrive Effect Pedal Kit

Components were not labeled correctly. Solder pads break if you look at them. Even if you can solder it to make it work, i’d be afraid to use it with how flimsy the board is.

A question has been asked if this comes with instructions. It does not come with "instructions" of how to build the pedal nor does it come with any support or even an image of a layout. It does come with a bill of materials (BOM) of almost everything you'll need. However, one of the diodes is mislabeled, and another is missing. The BOM doesn't specify what diode 1 is supposed to be, but it is supposed to be one of the "magic" 1N34A diodes. The BOM states that diode 3 is supposed to be a 1N34A diode, but diode 3 is actually your LED. The BOM provides you a complete list of all the resistors, capacitors, potentiometers, IC chips, and I already covered diodes. It does NOT include the model jacks you'll need for power, input, or output. The input jack is a Stereo Type 112BX. The output jack is a Mono Type 111X. The power jack is apparently a 142AX. Each of these product numbers are Switchcraft products. The 142AX jack I received did not securely hold the 1/8 inch power plug. I'm kinda annoyed about that, but that's no fault of this board. I'm just mentioning it to forewarn the reader of this that they may experience something similar. The photos I have included are a completed board with all of the components. The board you will receive will not have all of the pieces soldered to it, nor will it come with any of those pieces.If you're looking for a wiring diagram, you can check out Ceriatone. Although, you should be aware, their boards are numbered different, but the part values, the traces and the layout of parts is identical. A great resource to use to help build this if you're going through the TTone Klon route. But, going straight to Ceriatone and simply buying their kit may be the easiest way to go to make sure you're getting everything you need. Their board seems to be the same cheap quality as this board. So let's talk about the board...As for the board itself. It's cheap. You can't buy a cheaper PCB. As I was soldering, it felt like the traces were about to come off. Luckily nothing failed me. I will say that the completed kit sounds FANTASTIC! If you're new to soldering, practice on something else, or order two boards. You may also be wondering if this will fit the smaller TTone Klon Klone kit that's available on Amazon for like $45, it likely will not. This is a rather big PCB. You may be able to fit it into a different enclosure other than the Klon knockoff enclosure that TTone sells, but I wouldn't try it mostly because I hate working inside small enclosures.Shipping. If you've ordered any of these TTone products before, you know the shipping is criminally slow. I'm not even sure how it is so slow. Apparently it gets flown over to the US from China, but my gosh. This PCB spent 2 months in the shipping process. The enclosure spent 3 months in the shipping process. You may be able to buy other knockoff enclosures and PCB's on other sites. I would do some homework before ordering this board.The reason I'm giving it two stars is because it is a working board. And it does function. And it sounds awesome now that it's built. It was a fun project for me. I didn't run into any issues... YET. However, the shipping time of 2 months is rude. Although that may be partially due to COVID. Lastly, the board is of the lowest PCB quality.Lastly, please do not be a joker trying to make counterfeit Centaurs with this board. It will not work. Anyone who is somewhat familiar with this pedal will ask to see the board, and with one look they will know this is not a legit board. The creator of this pedal was a mad man about high quality products. This is not a high quality product. Don't try to sell it as if it is a high quality product. Furthermore, selling a fake Centaur as if it's an original is a total jerk move.
